Rhodes(Greek: Ρόδος, Ródos, IPA: [ˈro̞ðo̞s]; Italian: Rodi; Ottoman Turkish: ردوس Rodos; Ladino: Rodi or Rodes) is a Greek island approximately 18 kilometers (11 mi) southwest of Turkey in eastern Aegean Sea. It is the largest of the Dodecanese islands in terms of both land area and population, with a population of 117,007[2] of which 53,709 resided in the homonymous capital city of the island.
Historically, Rhodes was famous worldwide for the Colossus of Rhodes, one of the Seven Wonders of the World. The medieval Old Town of the City of Rhodes has been declared a World Heritage Site. Today Rhodes is a tourist destination.
The island of Rhodes is shaped like a spearhead, 79.7 km (49.5 mi) long and 38 km (24 mi) wide, with a total area of approximately 1,400 square kilometers (541 sq mi) and a coastline of approximately 220 km (137 mi). The city of Rhodes is located at the northern tip of the island, as well as the site of the ancient and modern commercial harbors.
In the 1st century AD, the Emperor Tiberius spent a brief term of exile on Rhodes, and Saint Paul brought Christianity to the island. Rhodes reached her zenith in the third century, and was then by common consent the most civilized and beautiful city in Hellas. In 395, the long Byzantine Empire period began for Rhodes, when the Roman Empire was split and the eastern half gradually became a Greek empire. Although part of Byzantium for the next thousand years, Rhodes was nevertheless repeatedly attacked by various forces. It was first occupied by Muslim forces of Muawiyah I in 672. Much later, Rhodes was retrieved for the Byzantine Emperor Alexius I Comnenus during the First Crusade.
In 1309 the Byzantine era came to an end when the island was occupied by forces of the Knights Hospitaller. Under the rule of the newly named "Knights of Rhodes", the city was rebuilt into a model of the European medieval ideal. Many of the city's famous monuments, including the Palace of the Grand Master, were built during this period.
The strong walls which the Knights had built withstood the attacks of the Sultan of Egypt in 1444, and of Mehmed II in 1480. Ultimately, however, Rhodes fell to the large army of Suleiman the Magnificent in December 1522, long after the rest of the Byzantine empire had been lost. The few surviving Knights were permitted to retire to the Kingdom of Sicily. The Knights would later move their base of operations to Malta. The island was thereafter a possession of the Ottoman Empire for nearly four centuries.

A Cidade do Rio de Janeiro é conhecia internacionalmente por suas belas praias urbanas, mas o que muitos não sabem e isto incluindo muitos cariocas, é que existem 05 Praias praticamente selvagens dentro da cidade e que só podem ser alcançadas pelo mar ou por uma trilha relativamente longa onde chegamos relativamente facil as Praias do Perigoso e das Conchas, para chegar nas outras praias ha necessidade de ir por uma outra trilhas e estas são um pouco mais puxadas.
Lá temos tambem uma grande rocha chamada de Pedra da Tartaruga, pela semelhança que ela tem a uma tartaruga vista de determinados angulos, Para quem gosta de esporte radical como o Rapel a Pedra da Tartaruga é considerada a opção mais bonita da cidade e acho que pelas fotos o motivo se justifica.
A Foto principal e a primeira da sequencia foram tiradas neste ultimo domingo, enquanto todas as praias da cidade estavam lotadas, a Praia do Perigoso tambem podemos ver que estava lotada para o padrão dela
* Apenas as duas ultimas fotos da sequencia estão abertas pois já foram publicadas anteriormente.

Long time before the creation, one day the elements came to present themselves before the mighty. Everyone wanted to prevail over a large part of the earth. But the Mighty was wise and rightful, therefore he divided the earth fairly among the elements. The water dominated the cold world, which consisted entirely of ice. But there was also a hot world, full of embers and flames. Between this two worlds, there was a mysterious nothingness, an immense gaping emptiness without light and structures.
The two forces fire and ice were not satisfied with the division of the world, because each of them wanted to have more. In the cold world the water decided to divert a river in the direction of the mysterious world of nothingness. Their water turned into ice, which continued to expand in the direction of the nothingness. The same idea had the fire with the magma flows. And so the inevitable happened. In the world of nothingness fire and ice clashed!
Tremendous forces collided and caused an apocalyptic catastrophe of gargantuan proportions. The earth shook, and huge cracks appeared while in other places the earth were formed to huge mountains. Fire and lava veins cooled, the ice melted and the water began to boil. Vapour and mist rose into the air where they were transformed to charged and dark clouds. It started to rain and there were also storms and lightning. And then … there was silence … for a long time there was no more noise … and suddenly the light penetrated in this darkness, because the light wanted to see what had happened. The whole world shone and showed her beauty. There was heat, air, clouds, mountains, valleys and fields. The paradise was born!
I want to thank all very much for your "views", "Comments" and "Favourites" :-) The only thing that matters is that you have joy in this photo. Again, thank you :-)
A beautiful Monday with our warmest temperatures of the month and the forecast is for snow tomorrow!

Alpenglow on the Mt. Baker from Deming, WA. This is what I see on my commute to work. Baker is a live volcano. We can occasionally see a plume of steam rising from a spot just to the right of the peak.
Mt. Baker: 9,355 feet or 2,851 meters in elevation. The two black buttes to the right of the dome erupted leaving craters. The last eruption was about 700,000 years ago. In 1975 there was an event that led to melting glaciers and snow, but did not result in magma reaching the surface. That magma has been slowly cooling since then.

Panorama of Denver, Colorado with the Pepsi Center to the right
The City and County of Denver (Arapaho: Niinéniiniicíihéhe') is the largest city and the capital of the U.S. state of Colorado. Denver is also the second most populous county in Colorado after El Paso County. Denver is a consolidated city and county located in the South Platte River Valley on the western edge of the High Plains just east of the Front Range of the Rocky Mountains. The Denver downtown district is located immediately east of the confluence of Cherry Creek with the South Platte River, approximately 12 miles (19 km) east of the foothills of the Rocky Mountains. Denver is nicknamed the Mile-High City because its official elevation is exactly one mile or 5,280 feet (1,609.3 m) above sea level, making it one of the highest major cities in the United States.The 105th meridian west of Greenwich passes through Union Station and is the temporal reference for the Mountain Time Zone. With a 2012 estimated population of 634,265, Denver ranks as the 23rd most populous U.S. city.
Pepsi Center (aka The Can) is a multi-purpose arena in Denver, Colorado, United States. The building is home to the Denver Nuggets of the National Basketball Association, the Colorado Avalanche of the National Hockey League, and the Colorado Mammoth of the National Lacrosse League. When not in use by one of Denver's sports teams, the building frequently serves as a concert venue.

Sognefjord, Norway
Getty Images Collection
Norway's longest and deepest fjord, the Sognefjord is a geologic and panoramic marvel. The terrain soars upward from the watery depths of the North Atlantic, and many waterfalls punctuatue its edges with spray. The area is accessible only between May 18 and September 15.
The average width of the main branch of the Sognefjorden is about 4.5 kilometres (2.8 mi). Cliffs surrounding the fjord rise almost sheer from the water to heights of 1,000 metres (3,300 ft) and more.
A fjord is formed when a glacier cuts a U-shaped valley on the surrounding bedrock. Most fjords are deeper than the adjacent sea; Sognefjord, Norway, reaches as much as 1,300 m (4,265 ft) below sea level.
♫ I see trees of green, red roses too
I see them bloom for me and you
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world
I see skies so blue and clouds of white
The bright blessed days, the dark sacred night
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world
The colors of the rainbow, so pretty in the sky
Are also on the faces of people going by
I see friends shaking hands, saying, "how do you do?"
They're really saying, "I love you"
I hear babies cry, I watch them grow
They'll learn much more, than I'll never know
And I think to myself, what a wonderful world ♫

Big panorama from Freshwater Bay yesterday on the day the big swell known as Hercules arrived on the south coast and lots of people came out to enjoy the sights and take photos.
This one was timed to show a big wave crashing into the sea wall in front of the Albion hotel.
I’ve posted a dozen or so here on flickr, but there are 44 on my photo-blog at
isleofwightpictures.com/big-seas-freshwater-bay/
so if you like things that go splash and people running away from them you might want to take a look!

Verbier is a ski resort in the Swiss Alps, in the canton of Valais. It is part of the "Four Valleys" ski area, which includes the ski resorts of Verbier, Nendaz, Veysonnaz, La Tzoumaz, and Thyon. Verbier is recognized as one of the premiere "off-piste" resorts worldwide. Many top skiers have settled in the resort in order to take advantage of the steep slopes, varied conditions and vibrant nightlife. Verbier is also a popular holiday destination for celebrities, including Sarah Ferguson, Diana Ross, James Blunt and The Crown Prince Couple of Denmark: Frederik and Mary.
Verbier is located in the Val de Bagnes, in the Valais region of Switzerland. The resort lies on a south orientated terrace at around 1,500 metres facing the Grand Combin massif.
Verbier only has one access road, which starts in the town of Le Châble.
The Grand Combin is a mountain in the western Pennine Alps in Switzerland. With its 4,314 metres (14,154 ft) high summit it is one of the highest peaks in the Alps and the second most prominent of its range.
The Grand Combin is also a large glaciated massif consisting of several summits, among which three are above 4000 metres.
The Alps (French: Alpes; German: Alpen; Italian: Alpi; Romansh: Alps; Slovene: Alpe) is the name for one of the great mountain range systems of Europe, stretching from Austria and Slovenia in the east, through Italy, Switzerland, Liechtenstein and Germany to France in the west. The word "Alps" was taken via French from Latin Alpes (meaning "the Alps"), which may be influenced by the Latin words albus (white) or altus (high) or more likely a Latin rendering of a Celtic or Ligurian original.
The highest mountain in the Alps is Mont Blanc, at 4,808 metres (15,774 ft), on the Italian-French border. All the main peaks of the Alps can be found in the list of mountains of the Alps and list of Alpine peaks by prominence.
The Alps are generally divided into the Western Alps and the Eastern Alps. The division is along the line between Lake Constance and Lake Como, following the Rhine. The Western Alps are higher, but their central chain is shorter and curved; they are located in Italy, France and Switzerland. The Eastern Alps (main ridge system elongated and broad) belong to Austria, Germany, Italy, Liechtenstein, Slovenia and Switzerland.
The Alps are a classic example of what happens when a temperate area at lower altitude gives way to higher elevation terrain. Elevations around the world which have cold climates similar to those found in polar areas have been called alpine. A rise from sea level into the upper regions of the atmosphere causes the temperature to decrease. The effect of mountain chains on prevailing winds is to carry warm air belonging to the lower region into an upper zone, where it expands in volume at the cost of a proportionate loss of heat, often accompanied by the precipitation of moisture in the form of snow or rain.

happy sliders sunday, my friends
have a great week! ♥
♫ Someday, when this night is over and the star has faded and the angels fly
I will look at You with wonder Dreaming of this first night
When I heard You cry
Someday, You'll take Your tiny fingers and with just a touch will cause the blind to see
Someday, You will walk with strangers, But, tonight, I'll rock You
Stay awhile with me
Someday, they will call You Savior, Hope of all the people light and life divine
Someday, You will speak the words and touch the hearts of many
As You now touch mine
You will speak in love and wisdom, Prison doors will open, We all will be set free
Someday, You will walk among us. But, tonight, I'll rock You
Just stay awhile with me
My son, let me rock You
Stay awhile with me ♫

I'm in heaven
And my heart beats so that I can hardly speak

Oh, I love to climb a mountain and to reach the highest peak
But it doesn't thrill me half as much as dancing cheek to cheek ♫

On our walk through the Roxborough State Park, Colorado, United States.
The state park is known for dramatic red sandstone formations. Located in Douglas County 25 miles (40 km) south of Denver, Colorado, the 3,339-acre (13.51 km2) park was established in 1975. In 1980 it was recognized as a National Natural Landmark because of the number of ecological systems and geological formations. It is also a State Historic Site and National Cultural District because of the number of archaeological sites.
Roxborough State Park is a designated Colorado Natural Area and National Natural Landmark for its 300 million year old red sandstone Fountain Formation that tilt at a 60 degree angle. The park includes great examples of exposed Precambrian to Late Mesozoic hogback, monolithic and spire formations from the Permian, Pennsylvanian and Cretaceous age. Carpenter Peak's exposed granite is from Precambrian era.
The park consists of forests of ponderosa pine and Douglas fir, prairie land, and woodlands that support many forms of wildlife. There are 145 bird, over 50 butterfly and moth, and 11 amphibian and reptile species. Mammals commonly found in the park include black bear, coyote, deer, elk, fox, mountain lion, prairie dog, and rabbit. Sources of water include Little Willow Creek, Willow Creek and Mill Gulch. Elevations range from 5,900 to 7,280 feet (1,800 to 2,220 m).
There are six hiking trails in Roxborough State Park, a network of easy to moderate trails that also connect to Douglas County trail system, Pike National Forest and Waterton Canyon trails. (Wikipedia)

A Câmara Municipal de Malmo encontra-se mencionado pela primeira vez no ano de 1353 . Esta estava diretamente a norte de St. Petri uma igreja belíssima bem juntinho da atual Câmara , entre o cemitério e a Adelsgatan, que era a mais velha praça da cidade. Em conjunto com a Reforma na Dinamarca o poderoso prefeito Jörgen Kock mandou construir no seu solo a atual Grande Praça, uma obra iniciada em 1538 que se tornaria na maior praça dos países nórdicos. Malmo foi nesta altura uma das maiores e mais belas cidades da Escandinávia, um forte motivo para que o seu povo construí-se uma nova sala de visitas que se transformasse no orgulho desta bela cidade.
Na década de 1530 começaria então a construção de uma nova Câmara municipal no canto nordeste da antiga praça. Este edifício pode ser visto como a maior expressão arquitetónica da ambição e ousadia dos políticos e dos burgueses de Malmo durante o Renascimento. Em 1546, o edifício que foi construído na sua totalidade em tijolo, com janelas panorâmicas de estilo gótico ficaria pronto para ser usado.
A Câmara Municipal, que é a maior prefeitura erguida durante a Idade Média, é um edifício de dois andares, com uma cave que ainda mantém o seu estilo de 1500, enquanto o andar de cima recebeu em 1800 uns arcos magníficos e muito finos em estuque . Este grande salão no segundo andar evoca as salas de espelhos no palácio Francês de Versailles , e é o lugar escolhido para as grandes celebrações. No mesmo piso há também o Salão Municipal das reuniões do Conselho, assim como um salão de beleza exclusivamente destinado apenas à realeza, embaixadores e outras personalidades de destaque.
As seções mais bem preservadas da prefeitura são as partes mais antigas, que consistem em contrafortes que hoje abrigam um grande restaurante. A Câmara Municipal, desde então, tem sido objeto de inúmeras alterações, mas a sua estrutura na praça principal é praticamente a mesma que nasceu durante os dias do Renascimento.
No decorrer dos séculos XVIII e XIX o edifício foi ampliado para oriente, tendo também a fachada voltada para Stortorget sido alterada. Na década de 1860, quando os novos regulamentos municipais introduziram na Suécia a industrialização, o edifício foi drasticamente redesenhado de acordo com os planos do arquiteto Helgo Zettervall. A fachada foi transformada no atual estilo renascentista Holandês. A Câmara Municipal também recebeu um interior ricamente decorado que se encontra em grande parte preservada. Um edifício que merece uma visita não só pela sua beleza arquitetónica mas também pelos inúmeros tesouros que abriga…

A Cidade do Rio de Janeiro é conhecida mundialmente pelas belezas de suas Praias Urbanas, mas o que muitos não sabem, inclusive muitos cariocas, é que dentro da cidade do Rio de Janeiro existem 05 praias praticamente Selvagens que só é possivel chegar atraves de Barco ou por trilha.
Já estou para ir neste lugar a mais de dois meses, mas por um motivo ou por outro sempre cancelava a ida, mas finalmente no feriado da ultima sexta tive a oportunidade de conhecer esse que para mim é um dos lugares mais fantásticos da nossa cidade.
A Trilha apesar de ser cansativa, é relativamente facil de seguir exceto por alguns trechos de subida que exigem um pouco mais de esforço para os que não estão acostumados a fazer trlha, mas todo esforço e cansaço são esquecidos quando chegamos a este paraiso escondido dentro da nossa cidade.
No local temos a Pedra da Tartaruga, uma enorme pedra que lembra a cabeça de um tartaruga e que irei postar uma foto brevemente, muito procurada para a pratica rapel, sendo considerado o local mais bonito para esse esporte na cidade.
Das 05 praias estive apenas em tres, pois o sol estava muito quente e não me animei de conhecer todas, Temos:
A Praia do Meio a maior das 05 praias com 350 metros de extensão e que aparece na foto é a preferida por surfistas, a Praia de Pedra conhecida como praia de Buzios e a Praia do Perigoso, que tem esse nome devido ser a rota de fuga de presos perigosos que escapavam do extinto presidio da Ilha Grande, alem destas existe a praia do inferno que é visivel do alto da Pedra da tartaruga e a Praia Funda que tem um trilha mais complicada de chegar.
* A primeira foto da sequencia, foi tirada do Alto da Pedra da Tartaruga, ao meu lado no primeiro plano esta a Praia do Perigoso, depois a Praia do Meio que aparece na Foto Principal de outro angulo e ao fundo a Praia do Inferno.
* A Segunda foto mostra a Praia de Buzios que fica do Lado Oposto a Praia do Perigoso.

A selection of mushrooms we found while walking the New Forest.
Does anybody know what kind of mushrooms these were? Any help appreciated!
Truth be told, I'm jealous of Jayme's dogs and his fantastic photo's he takes of them. So I set out to take my own dog's portrait photo. First, I went out to the garage and dug out the box buried deep in the dark at the back. Then I opened the box, took out my dog, blew the dust off of him and put him down. Next I set up the shot, told the dog to sit and went to get the camera. Everything was all good until I went to snap the shot. As soon as I aimed the camera at him, he turned around, said Look, I'm Sally Fields as the Flying Nun and flew off over the fence and out of sight. Typical dog.

Another shot from the wonderful autumn forest at the Herrenbachstausee (Artificial lake) which is situated near the Abbey Adelberg (Germany, Baden-Württemberg). The lake was built around 1970. The 22 m high and 220 m long dam built from groundmaterial can almost hold back 2 million cubic meters of water. The water is of up to 18 meters deep and has an area of about 10 hectares. It is a very delightful recreation area because of the scenic location. (Out of 3 single shots.)

Para subir neste local é necessario apenas um pouco de disposição e boa vontade de subir por cerca de 30 minutos numa trilha bem marcada e facil que se inicia dentro do Parque da Prainha e termina neste belo local onde podemos ver todo o Recreio dos Bandeirantes e Barra da Tijuca e a parte do Gigante Adormecido que as montanhas do Rio de Janeiro Formam.
Gigante Adormecido
Apesar de já retratado desde da época do Brasil Colônia, inclusive por Debret em 1816 (gravura na sequencia), poucas pessoas sabem que as montanhas do Rio de Janeiro formam um Gigante com cerca de 18 Km de extensão . A Pedra da Gavea seria a Cabeça, o Corcovado a Virilha, inclusive ha ate alguma piadas a respeito disto e o Pão de Açucar seria os Pés.
Pelo lado da Barra da Tijuca que seria o lado da Foto Principal, não é possivel ve-lo por completo, apenas nas proximidades da Ilha Rasa que se pode ter uma visão perfeita da formação rochosa.

Hardly anyone has a bad word to say about cosmos; most sources indicate that they just keep on coming. As lovely as they are, Cosmos are sometimes described as a weeds because it heavily self-seeds. Well, sometimes even weeds fail to thrive. Speaking of weeds, control of them during cosmos germination time is critical to the flower's survival.
Cosmos seed germination is reduced when temps are above 80°F or below 65°F, so maybe many of the seeds did not make it through the winter. Or it was too hot during optimal germination time.
Another thought: Cosmos needs no fertilizer; in fact, it prefers ordinary to poor soil. In fact, too-rich soil can result in weak stems. Save the good soil and fertilizer for other plants!
Cosmos likes full sun—at least 8 hours per day of intense light.
Enjoy !! (next year)
